Smart bit of kit 🚜🚜

New and shiny at the start of this harvest - I guess they will be less clean by the end! 🤣👌

[@PaulSpinks670]

Great video as usual 👍🏻 the reason for an earlier than normal start to the beet harvest this season is the poor yields last season . A hot and dry summer in 2022 cut back root yields then the hard frosts in December really knocked back the sugar contents of the late lifted crops.Therefore British sugar were crying out for beet early this season

[@MalcPearce]

Thanks for the reason Paul. 👍

mesin mesin pertanian yang modern..good video

[@MalcPearce]

Tentu saja mesinnya sangat modern! 😎👍👌

One of few crops to benefit from the weather this summer. The factory at Bury St Edmunds will be happy 😊

[@MalcPearce]

Very true on both counts - the beet are heading to BSE later this week. 😎👍

[@61citystars]

looks like a really good harvest

[@MalcPearce]

All that rain had to be good for something!!! 🤣🤣

[@christopherbignell3342]

Good video 👍

[@MalcPearce]

Thanks 👍 Very early for beet this year - more used to shivering in the cold when beet harvest comes around! 🤣👍

[@davidsavill4205]

Bit early for lifting beet, would have said mid September before lifting

[@MalcPearce]

I know... this weekend just gone I saw peas, barley, wheat and sugar beet being harvested! 😳 After the heavy rain recently the crop was ready so they were on it! 🙂

[@NielsvdBoom]

Factories need a certain amount of crop to start up the machinery, test everything, etc. So this is quite normal.

[@MalcPearce]

I've never seen sugar beet being lifted in August in the UK, perhaps I've been looking in the wrong places!! 🤣👌

[@davidpalmer869]

Never seen this in August ever had it been Italy then that would be understood

[@NielsvdBoom]

@@MalcPearce unless it’s organic sugar beet which they usually process before the normal campaign but I don’t think that British Sugar has organic beet?

[@tomaszzbien4784]

Jaka polaryzacja i plon korzeni?

[@MalcPearce]

Nie pomyślałem, ale traktory były zajęte 👍😎

[@Milanhukaljr]

How in the world did it start it's to early

[@MalcPearce]

The crop was ready and the factory needed the beet apparently... I guess all the rain recently helped? 🤔🫣🙂

[@Milanhukaljr]

Yea definitely
